Important Notes

Teletica (Canal 7) and Repretel (Canal 6) will share World Cup broadcast rights in Costa Rica, with all La Sele matches expected to be free-to-air — a national tradition for a country where football is religion.

CST (UTC-6) timing is favorable: matches in the Americas fall during afternoon and evening hours, perfect for living room and bar viewing.

TDMAX (Teletica's streaming platform) and Tigo Sports will offer digital coverage across mobile devices — important given Costa Rica's high smartphone penetration.

Costa Rica's heroic 2014 quarter-final run and consistent World Cup qualification have established the Ticos as CONCACAF's most beloved underdog — the 2026 tournament, partly hosted in the region, will feel like a home-adjacent World Cup.

Community viewing in town squares ("plazas de fútbol") remains the heart of Costa Rican World Cup culture — expect San José's Parque Central to be a sea of red jerseys.
